Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Can a 15 Yard Dumpster Hold?
15 cubic yards of material, which is equivalent to about 60-75 33-gallon trash bags, or 4.5 pickup truck loads.
Will it fit in my driveway?
Our dumpsters are 14' Long x 8' Wide. A good comparison would be a large SUV.
When do you need a permit for a dumpster rental?
Dumpster permits are generally only required if you are placing your roll off container directly on a street, sidewalk or any type of public property. These are commonly referred to as street or right-of-way permits and are issued by your city's public works or building department.
If you are placing your dumpster in your driveway or a privately owned space, you will not need a street permit. If your neighborhood has a homeowners association, you may also need permission from them before placing a dumpster on a residential street.

How do I load my dumpster?
When loading a dumpster, ensure all debris is placed inside the container. Try to evenly distribute the weight. Do not leave anything hanging over the sides or sticking through the top of the dumpster. This could delay your waste pick-up because drivers cannot haul overloaded dumpsters.
What items are not allowed in the dumpster?
Tires, Appliances, Wet Paint, Car Batteries, Concrete, Rocks, Dirt, Roofing Shingles, Liquids, E-Waste, Asbestos, Railroad Ties, Industrial Drums, Hazardous Materials.
